Simple Egg Frittatas: Easy Breakfast Recipe
This delicious breakfast egg frittatas recipe is sure to be a hit at your next breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! The cheesy goodness and individual serving size make it the perfect potluck dish.
A frittata is essentially an Italian omelette. The word “frittata” comes from the Italian verb “friggere,” which means “to fry.” Unlike a traditional omelette, which is cooked by folding the eggs over the fillings, a frittata is cooked slowly in a skillet, often in the oven, without flipping.
This cooking method allows the frittata to take on a slightly crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside while remaining tender and creamy on the inside.
These delicious egg frittatas are an adaptation of my favorite breakfast casserole, but cooked in muffin tins for individual serving sizes, just like Egg Muffin Cups.
Frittatas are beloved for their versatility. You can tailor them to your taste and the ingredients you have on hand. They are a great way to use up leftover vegetables, cheeses, or meats. Whether you prefer a classic combination like spinach and feta or something unconventional like chorizo and asparagus, the possibilities are endless.
